He returned to the attention of English audiences last month when he scored two late goals in the Netherlands' epic [£12m move from German side Wolfsburg](https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/60197489), but only scored twice as the Clarets were relegated to the Championship. However, the United boss knows he has to work under financial constraints following the summer outlay.

Manchester United want Wout Weghorst, Aston Villa may let Danny Ings go, Chelsea want both Thuram brothers and Real Madrid plan for Jude Bellingham.

Paper Round’s view: Chelsea have unsettled Fernandez with their pursuit of the player but it is slightly unreasonable that once his head has turned, they have started to negotiate for a player who has an existing release clause. At 30 this could be his last chance for a big contract, so he may be willing to move. The Sun reports that Everton and Crystal Palace are both keen on Danny Ings, with the 30-year-old not a starter under new Aston Villa boss Unai Emery.

The latter rating has dropped from his time at Burnley, but that is likely due to his role in possession, as his link-up play volume has dropped dramatically (36 out of 99). His struggles reappeared and he finished the season as a substitute, with [Ashley Barnes](https://theathletic.com/football/player/ashley-barnes-Lr9kAzWx4jPQ45w6/) preferred. With goalkeeper [Emiliano Martinez](https://theathletic.com/football/player/emiliano-martinez-21801z8VmFDeDMt7/) — another member of that Argentina team — out of the equation and the goal gaping, Weghorst just had to avoid the attempted block of [Tyrone Mings](https://theathletic.com/football/player/tyrone-mings-LY3xyd8IwbE5DQbv/) to score.

Playing in a team expected to be the dominant force in games makes a difference, as Burnley were not a side who dominated possession and attacked opponents with regularity. That is further illustrated by his excellent ability to disrupt opposition moves (86 out of 99) by blocking passing lanes and winning possession back. There had in fact been an agreement between the player and club when he signed that if Burnley did not survive he would be allowed to leave to keep his World Cup hopes alive.

[Manchester United](https://theathletic.com/football/team/manchester-united/) may well end up with a big man as their new striker this month. They have not welcomed this proposed disruption to their plans and will likely want to be compensated if they are to assist in the deal.

A 30-year-old striker who was loaned to a Turkish club after making a minimal impact in the Premier League... signing for Manchester United?

He is a nice lad too and there is no nonsense with him - Weghorst will put a shift in for the team. He is good at link-up play too, you can give him the ball then play through him. He has brought passion, energy and talent to the team. That is probably the reason Ten Hag is being forced to do loan deals.
